Characters

Differences from the original manga

  • Tare Makimura's name is changed to Taro.
  • Ryo's haircut is different as he now has a bowlcut.
  • Akira no longer has sideburns. And neither does Ryo.
  • Miki's hairstyle is not worn with a hairband. Plus her personality is a lot nicer and she is now half Caucasian, along with Taro.
  • Several characters from the manga including Demon General Zann, Dosu-Roku and his gang, and Professor Asuka don't appear in this.
  • Major supporting characters like Sachiko, Medoc, Dr. Rainuma, and Mikiko Kawamoto feature in significantly more minor roles.
  • The anti-war themes of the manga are present but passed over to focus more on the xenophobia and racism angle instead.
  • Agwel, has a very different set of powers and has a more insect-like appearance.
  • Similarly to Agwel many more minor demons such as Wagreb, Eader, Illuge, Rasber, Trolief, Welvath etc. have radically new designs compared to their manga counterparts.
  • Agwel, Ghelmer, Sirene, Kaim, Zennon and others all now have human skins, something that was present in sequels, but never the original manga.
  • The war between Devilman and Demon kind is shown as well as the extinction of human kind.
  • Akira Fudo's parents are alive prior to him becoming Devilman.
  • The character of Mico, from the original manga, is split into two characters within the series- one is Miki "Miko" Kuroda and the other is an unnamed character who makes a cameo appearance in the last episode.
  • A few thematic elements from Devilman Lady are present, such as a strong inference of the timeloop, the meta usage of the Devilman manga and TV show existing in universe and Miki Kuroda's character having parallels to Aoi Kurosaki.
  • Ideas that were present in the autobiographical Gekiman such as Akira's strong lust brought on from his transformation and rape of Sirene were adapted in Crybaby.
  • A lot of elements from the first volume of the manga are cut, such as the Demon Mask and Illuge and Texsch's attack. Interestingly, Ryo's speech about the nature of demon kind is used, but not until the tail end of the series.
  • Jinmen possesses Akira’s father and slaughters everyone on an airport shuttle rather than possessing a train guard on a high-speed train.
  • Massami Izumi is replaced by the Makimura family cat Tako, with the feline serving the same role as she did in the final episode.
  • All the Demons including Devilman himself, have yellow blood instead of red.

Trivia

  • This marks the very first time, in over four decades, that the character Ryo Asuka is featured in an official anime series. Prior to this, Ryo Asuka had almost exclusively appeared in OVAs until now.
  • This is Atsuko Tanaka's second time to be voicing Sirene, since she previously voiced her in the Playstation 1 adaptation of Devilman.
  • The 70's Devilman TV series is featured within the universe of Devilman Crybaby as an actual anime. The original opening theme has also been redone with a new musical score.
  • Psycho Jenny's design is highly influenced by Yasushi Nirasawa's figure design, from the colour pallet, arm fins and breasts on her back. Similarly, is Ghelmer thought the similarities are not as strong.
  • Noteably, this is also one of the very rare occasions where Psycho Jenny and Zenon die.
  • The opening credits feature rorsarch markings of the demons Kaim, Sirene, Zennon, Miki Kuroda, Jinmen and Psycho Jenny.
  • Devilman Crybaby was voted Anime of the Year for the 2018 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
